Video: Chamonix Alpine Ice


This short video shows two climbers doing an ascent of the classic Welzenbach route (grade TD) on the north face of the Grand Charmoz. Click on this text to access the link, and watch these modern day climbers using radically curved ice tools, and then imagine what this route must have been like using the ice axes of 1931.
